It's insanity!

Anarcho-capitalism and minarchism

Anarcho-capitalism advocates simply abolishing the state so that private-sector entities will be free to promulgate, enforce and adjudicate legal codes. Minarchism calls for a "minimal" or Night watchman state.[3] In a minarchy, the only justifiable government institutions are armies, police, courts and legislatures, for the purposes of protecting citizens from external attack, from local crime, to determine innocence or guilt, and to determine the proper application of property rights in new areas.[3] In an anarcho-capitalist society, these functions would be provided by competing private firms.

This is NOT the Republic the Founders set up!
